a love poem Ten to the power of zero One click of the longest hand of the watch, the hero… …is floating between two cesium 133 atoms hyperfine Oh, the taste of her lips is like wine I seek freedom from the tyranny of time I seek liberation from the oppression of schedules on a dime I seek to escape the criminality of the clock I unclasp the pink brassiere’s simple lock. Ten to the power of negative [...]
It takes me 6 drafts to write one of my books. I thought I’d summarize the process for you…share some of my secrets…for what they’re worth. Draft # 1. Tina Brown of vanity Fair has called the first draft of her book the “vomit” draft…just spew it all out. And that’s what I do. I get it all onto my computer, and backed up, and forget about grammar, spelling, etc. I don’t worry that the plot doesn’t hold together. Don’t even worry [...]

I’m not crazy, and there’s nothing wrong with me, so why am I here? I hate it here. I can’t move my arms with this stupid jacket on, it itches and its too tight. I can’t sleep at night, I can’t stop thinking, cant tell my brain to just shut up, and to stop telling me what to do. But I’m not sick, I’m not what any of these doctors think I am or what my mom wishes I wasn’t. I just keep thinking about Jason, his name ringing [...]
All I had with me was my suitcase and the clothes on my back. I looked straight ahead of me and saw an endless dirt road which extended for miles and miles.

Like rain cast from the sky, but its sound I do not hear. For where this tear falls I cannot reach, to wipe it from the sky. Its walls of hurt I cannot breach, I can only wonder why.
